At the heart of this study lies an illustrated catalogue of over
2,200 clay pipes dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, the
majority of which are held in Yorkshire collections. The size and
topographical range of Yorkshire ensures the county's suitability
as a case study for examining pipe production as well as regional
variations and trade. The extensive catalogue is preceded by a
discussion of the methodology of studying clay pipes, the
documentary evidence for kiln sites and production, Yorkshire clay
sources, the development of the bowl form, the stem, the range of
marks, the distribution and the archaeological evidence for
imported pipes. Lists of pipemakers and associated documents and
inventories are presented in appendices.
